Why does this happen?
Kubernetes monitors the WRONG metrics for Node.js. CPU and memory miss what actually matters:
✓ Event loop utilization
✓ Heap usage
✓ Real-time responsiveness
Traditional HPA takes MINUTES to react. Your Node.js app needs SECONDS.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it.
A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

TypeScript excitement 😉
TS 6.0 is planning a bunch of breaking changes to tsconfig options to deprecate some and change the defaults for others. This will simplify configuration and ease the transition to the Go-based TS 7.0 👍
The latest pitch is to enable strict type-checking modes by default 🎉
